Your client wake up to find water on the floor, a damaged floor, wet drywall, even mold. They call their insurance company for help. Their first question, Does my homeowners insurance cover the water leak and damages?
The question may not be so easy to answer. First, we need to get the water turned off and find the source of the leak. But finding where the leak started or why isn’t always obvious. Often times it is below a concrete slab, between walls, or under the ground.
Digging up or breaking into walls guessing where the water leak is located. This just adds to the cost to repair the damages.
Then there is the question of why the water started leaking.
Many home and business owners just assume repairing the leak and damages are covered under their insurance policy, but this may not be the case.
There are many issues that come into play. For instance, how long has it been leaking? What is the extent of the damages? Was it due to faulty construction? Corroding pipes? Natural causes?
Was it due to lack of maintenance? Was it a slow leak behind the bathroom sink that wasn’t taken care of a few months ago and has now turned into a busted pipe?
Washing machines and air conditioners are often times the source of water damage.
These leaks can occur at any time and remain unnoticed for years as your water consumption slowly increases along with your monthly water bill.
